Coal Mine, <br />You previously requested inactivation in 1996. At that time, the Division denied your request. We are <br />reevaluating this permit based on your recent letter and current and expected conditions at the mine site. <br />Mining has ceased at this facility and reclamationlrevegetation is occurring under the direction of the <br />Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. We understand that there is little runoff at this site and that <br />runoff razely reaches the sedimentation pond. ]t appears that the possibility of dischazge from this site's pond <br />is remote. We have wrresponded with a Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) representative <br />who concurs that it is unlikely that dischazge could occur from this site. <br />We will allow the permit certification number COG-850029 for this facility to expire on June 30, 1997. <br />Please be aware that if conditions at the site change in the future to alter the need for a CDPS permit, the <br />Division may take appropriate action. <br />Please feel free to contact me at (303) 692-3605 if you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />ion ubic <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Permits and Enforcement Section <br />WATER QUALITY CONTROL DIVISION <br />sc: Darlene Casey, Permits and Fnfomemenl Section, WQCD <br />Dwain Watson, Technical Services Unit, WQCD <br />David Berry, CDMG <br />Technical Enforcement Program, (9ENF-T), EPA <br />Gunniwn County Hulth Depanmenl <br />
